Are You Getting Enough Sleep? 

The fact that you have the patience to stop and stare at the camera for 15 minutes every few hours impresses me more than the all-nighter tbh

Ever since I heard Idea Channel was ending I haven't been able to sleep.

I find the idea of an uninterrupted life existentially frightening.

One aspect of sleep that was not included here was that it serves as a daily "reset" beyond the obvious physical benefits. A forced cooling off period after an argument or injury. "Go home and sleep on it", a convenient way to buy time to ponder a decision or forget some minor annoyance. Without sleep we would feel the need to be "on" without pause.

5:54 I was expecting him to spend about 5 minutes doing air quotes so that it would align when he said the word "content" in his script.

Man, you sure did take your time with that coffee.

I don't have much to say on sleep at the moment (other than that I'll be missing some tonight), so I'll have to get back to that later BUT: Mike, you may think that you spent too much time on the music for this episode but damn it was worth it. And so was the time lapse. I don't know if it's simply because they're different (and don't get me wrong, I love the usual format just as much), but these videos with more experimental cinematography or editing have always struck me in a different way. This is amazing work.

Going to sleep everyday helps set barriers between each day, not sleeping at all would make it feel like the days never end.

So the key to not dozing off when trying to work through the night is to stare intently at the camera for a few minutes. I'll keep that in mind.

I really enjoyed the style of this video

I get enough sleep regularly. It's a priority of mine, I love it, and I think I benefit tremendously from it. That being said, every so often (maybe every 6-9 months) I get the itch to stay up all night. I simply can't sleep, don't want to sleep, and feel like I'm going to lose my mind if I sleep and wake at the normal time. So I stay up and completely throw off my sleep schedule. For some reason this feels really good and getting it back on track afterwards is gratifying. It's a complete mystery to me.

My sleep schedule is extremely bad right now. I literally don't even start feeling tired until about 6 am and I often wake up at 3 pm. I don't have any reason to wake up early (school, work etc.) so it doesn't matter in that regard but it's starting to feel like I almost don't belong in the society I'm living in. I go to sleep when everyone else wakes up and wake up when everyone else is getting off from work. I've really noticed that "time slept" isn't the only relevant metric when you think about the effects of sleep on quality of life. I get solid 8-9 hours of sleep every night but I feel tired all the time. So yeah, I'm getting enough sleep but the sleep I'm getting is poor quality and happens during the wrong time of day.

This video shows how you can play with the format of Idea Channel videos. You don't need to leave us to experiment with a new format! :(

One, Mike didn't say "Here's an idea." We only got so many of those left. :( Two, how did you film this? Mike, did you really stay up for 24 hours to film a video and did you really spend it working almost the whole time? Mike! Do not do this! And why would you just stare at the camera for several minutes? You looked so tired. Miiiike! Take care of yourself Mike.

Watching while supposed to sleep

Not being physically able to manage on less sleep in a society that expects it from you is incredibly difficult. It isolates you, it makes you appear lazy to employers and anti-social to (new) friends and co-workers. It destroys your ability to keep up with media, to maintain or progress in any kind of hobby and to commit to attend anything on weekdays that might mean you get home late. I sleep for around 9 hours a day- I need around 11 hours to actually feel fully rested, but 8-9 hours just about keeps me going. If I get less than, 8 it takes me about a week to recover and be able to actually properly think clearly. After 2 or 3 days on 6 hours I'm like most people after a week of insomnia. I've never been able to go longer than 18 hours without sleep- I've tried but just fall asleep. I truly envy those who are able to sleep less than I do. I've had to essentially give up on doing anything non-essential at home, except on weekends, because I simply don't have the time for nonessential stuff. P.S- I've spoken to doctors and I;m not sick, just unlucky. I just *really* need a lot of sleep.

Something not touched upon here was the effects of shifted sleep cycle. Those of us in the work force whose sleep must be fit in to an odd schedule, whether that be those who must wake extra early due to an early morning shift, those who must go to sleep very late due to a late one, or those who must become nocturnal due to an overnight shift. I sometimes find that, even when I get what should be "enough" sleep, I still feel exhausted from my weird sleep schedule. Energy drinks and coffee can only help so much!

When I was in my early 20s, I tried to polyphasic sleeping. For those of you who never heard of it, it's the idea of intermittent napping, taking a short (~15-20minute nap) every few hours. The way I did it was using a system called the Everyman, which is to do the naps, and get two hours in the middle of the night. Adapting to it is painful. I don't think I would have managed to succeed at it if I didn't have a huge incentive in my life to do it at that time. I had just gotten into grad school, and was working a full time job and a part time job. Over that year, because of health issues with my boss, I essentially was working two full time jobs, going to grad school full time and even TAing. Sleeping less wasn't just nice, it was survival. One thing that I learned is that you never truly "adapt" to the lack of sleep, you just sort of learn how to function with it. You also become much dumber. Learning new things becomes incredibly difficult. I remember picking up a book on Objective-C, and I legitimately thought that is was one of the most difficult things ever. But once I started sleeping normally again, I picked it up and realized that it was just me at the time. You can function on that sort of sleep schedule, only getting about 3.5 hours of sleep a day, as long as you're doing things that you already know inside and out. It's nice to know that it's possible, in case I never need to do it again in my life, but I religiously get 8 hours of sleep now, because I learned, the hard way, that the productivity gained in the wakeful hours really outstrips all the hours lost by sleeping.

Sleep? I haven't heard that name in years.

I like to describe myself as 'sleeping enthusiast' because sleeping is one of the most enjoyable things I find in my life.

It legitimately bothers me that I'm going to spend a third of my life just sleeping.

I came out to have a good time and I'm honestly feeling so attacked right now XD no I don't get enough sleep.

I love how there's a rhythm with the traffic light.

One of my favourite videos you've made yet. Glorious to watch you closing on a high. Thanks for all of it.

Mike, I don't know what new thing you're going to think of after Idea Channel. But if this is the direction you're going in, consider me on board!

I used to sacrifice a lot, trying to "create the habit" of sleeping less - I'm a late sleeper and a late riser - until I found that it only made me less effective in the waking hours...

This was probably one of my favorite episodes.

I've battled with and suffered from insomnia my entire life. I'm 34. I can function on no sleep, and average two to four hours. Or, I did. April of last year I learned a simple breathing technique that helps me better oxygenate before sleep (4-7-8 Breathing method) and on the first of June this year I added a medication prescribed by my doctor as well as a guided meditation app (Insight Timer) to help me sleep more. When I started the 4-7-8 breathing, I didn't sleep more, but the quality of my sleep improved dramatically. Since combining it with the medication and meditation, I am sleeping one to 3 hours more each night. I'm not sure if the quality is as good as the breathing alone, but I do feel better now. Less pain, some days no pain. People that scream insomnia after drinking coffee all day and not putting down their phone to sleep don't often understand that insomnia hurts. It is physically painful. It isn't the lack of sleep that often makes me unproductive, it is the pain that holds me down. With that being said, not being in a constant state of jet lag does have what feels like a downside. I consider myself to be a fairly creative human. One of the most creative states one can be in, is tired. When tired, be it from getting up early or staying up late, allows the brain to make connections it normally wouldn't due to its logic and rationale being diminished. Adapting to my newfound lack of this form of creativity is sometimes difficult. So I find myself wondering if my lack of pain is worth giving up my extra creativity. I'm still not sleeping the "recommended" amount of sleep, but for the first time in my life I feel like maybe I'm sleeping too much. Maybe insomnia is better. Maybe there is an in between I can find. Is it better to sleep well and feel good, so that we can be productive members of society, or is it better to have that extra edge that has helped so many create so much beauty in the world? Or, just maybe, I'm just looking for something to complain about and should be happy that I can finally sleep decently.

What's the pointing in sleeping? Everything dies. Even Idea Channel :(

watching this at 2 am

First of all, I think that from an artistic perspective the video is extremely well done. I'm very impressed that even in wrapping things up you're still changing and improving. But now to my point; I'm currently in my final year of highschool, and I'm hard pressed to find almost anyone who sleeps 'enough.' It's impossible to wake up later than seven or half past seven and be on time for the start time, yet I find that work schedules for fast food in particular demand that we be able to work nearly any day within a large time span. (Most students I know get up at six am.) This means time losses on weekends, weekdays, evenings and mornings. This is only for part timers, but even then I find my own sleep schedule being dented ever so subtly over and over by little changes.. Something like working until eleven for a night or two, so it's about half past midnight when I can get to rest (if I rest right away) and then when I would catch up on weekends they give me a morning shift starting at something like six am. This cycle can drain someone, even if it happens for just a week or two. I might get enough sleep had I the opportunity, but alas it is stolen from me. It doesn't help that teenagers such as myself have screens and socialization to do at night.. So while I might just 'go to bed earlier' as many would suggest (when possible) it takes something away from our lives.. Like at night, while we're supposed to be sleeping, that's the only time that I won't be bothered. I won't be called upon to go do chores, or leave for church, or perform an assignment, etc. There is no other point in my day where we are so truly free as the late night, and I find it often comes down to whether you care more for being well aware for the activities that are expected of you or the few hours of true alone time you get when staying up later. In my own experience I find that teens now perhaps value the latter more, which results in nearly everyone being tired with the early school starting times. Last thing.. Thanks for all your videos. They were good stuff. Been watching for a few years, so maybe I should've started to comment earlier. I usually have about six hours of sleep a night, but with school over I've been getting a full eight most of the time.

3:45 talks about going to the bathroom the exact moment he went to the bathroom. Dedication.

My second choice for super power has always been to not have to sleep unless sick. We used to have a rotating second shift that used to really mess me up. Have you ever read about the JPL workers who have to synchronize themselves to Mars (Sol) time? Some people have their whole families switch with them so they have time to see them. I think that really throws people off too.

what did you keep looking at?

As a new mother, I always wonder why newborns have such an incompatible sleeping rhythm and how I'm still functioning after 7 months of no deep sleep.

Watching this at 2 am, my life is a damn mess

Honestly, half the time I could not focus on what you were saying because of how inefficient that stop light is. At night, it should be either red or green (depending on which street has higher priority) and only change if there is a car on the sensor. That way, the people on the main street aren't hindered and the people on the side street get an experience similar to a stop sign. But no I don't sleep well. I sleep at 1-2am and wake up at 9-10 for my 9-5 job which ends up being 10-6 or at 11-1 on weekends. I hate going to sleep but I also hate waking up. I am also the most productive at night, I get the most cleaning, homework, project completion, and alertness between the hours of 10-2 at night.

Let me be cheeky and respond with a rephrasing of the question: Do you get enough rest? Is it truly sleep that we love? Or is it the moments we get, here and there, where we are afforded the last bit of real privacy and peace that exists in our lives?

This is awesome I love the commitment it must of taken to make this video. Also its fun to watch the street lamp in the bottom right

That was beautiful!! Thank you for another great video.

A video like this reaffirms why Mike should host this and have the show end instead of looking for a new host.

I find myself thinking about this frequently, and I've actually come to resent sleep. Rationally, I understand that it's necessary for healthy functioning, but emotionally it's unsatisfying to the point of frustration. Even when I get a decent amount of sleep, I'm still tired, so I kind of think, "What's the point? If I'm going to be tired regardless, I may as well skim a few hours to get some perceivable value out of my time, right?" While I'm the only person I know who actively dislikes sleep, virtually everyone I know is sleep-deprived to some degree. It seems to start in high school, where the overwhelming demands of class, homework, extracurricular activities, jobs, and attempting to have a social life strain kids' schedules to the breaking point. Something has to give, and that something is usually sleep. In a time in their lives when they actually need more sleep than most, they're getting less on average. Over time, coping with fatigue becomes the new normal, and even when our schedules could accommodate a full 7 or 8 hours of sleep, we borrow an hour or two from that time to get in one more game or spend a little more time with friends before heading home, knowing we'll suffer in the morning but readily accepting that trade because that suffering is so familiar. For me, at least, "tired" became less a temporary feeling with a traceable cause and more something akin to a personality trait, an ingrained part of my being that seems not just normal but unavoidable. I feel like the need for sleep is onerous, a tyrannical demand for more of my life than I am willing (or sometimes able) to give. It has unclear benefits, doesn't always make me feel better, and consumes an enormous share of my time every day, even now that I've shaved my average time down to only 4 or 5 hours. It's my hope that we'll overcome the need for sleep at some point in the future. Hopefully my sleep deprivation doesn't kill me before then. More generally, I think it's worth pointing out that some people are predisposed to have a late-shifted circadian rhythm, the "night owls" of the world. Even with good sleep habits, they tend to stay up later at night and sleep in later in the morning. At least one kind of night owl identified by a Rockefeller Institute study has a genetic variation that causes melatonin levels to remain low until 2 or 3 AM, well past the normal time of 9 or 10 PM (source: medicalxpress.com/news/2017-04-night-owl-gene-variant.html). These people are forced into unnatural sleeping patterns by the modern world, as most jobs demand that they wake up hours before they naturally would, but they get their second wind in the evening and don't start to feel sleepy until the wee hours of the morning, compounding the sleep deprivation. They have to either force themselves to sleep before they feel tired and still feel sleepy in the morning or sleep when their body tells them to and lose sleep because of it.

Actually one of the coolest things I've seen on RU-vid. Well done.

That stop light in the lower right corner is mesmerizing. Especially when it syncs with the music. Aside from that, props to Mike for making an art essay that demonstrates while commentating, performs while pontificating. Well done, sir.

I believe I am, recently I switched to a sleep cycle vased on solar time because it generally feels more natural to me and also helps because I am very sensitive to light while sleeping. My schedule is 8pm to 6am ST, for a total of ~10 hours.

No I don't because I stay awake till 3 am every night watching RU-vid videos.

A complaint I make and I've heard other illustrators, painters and draftsmen make, is that you have to warm up and sink into your "rhythm" or get into the zone to produce good drawings/paintings etc. So there's a big portion of our days spent not producing the work we want to, but in preparation for it. Sleep seems to reset the process and consequently add the arduous task of waking up our ability every day. If you could just keep going, seemingly your efficiency would go up and your frustration down.

I try to enjoy every single video of yours so much more since... you know. The fact that you suddenly up production value so much for your last videos adds to that so much more. I am really greatful to be able to have joined you on this journey. Even if i wasn't there for several years like many others. It was an amazing ride.

No, I'm not. I work at an Amazon warehouse and during the busy season around Christmas, and prime day, the whole place is on mandatory overtime. My normal schedule is 7:30 am - 6:00 pm, four days a week. On over time weeks, it's 6:30 am - 6:00 pm, five days a week with a half hour lunch. On a normal day I spend about 30 minutes traveling to and from work, and I like to leave early incase there's traffic. So, on a normal day I'm leaving for work at 6:45, and getting home at around 6:45, or later depending on traffic. (which is worse coming home) If I'm supposed to sleep 8 hours, and I need 45 minutes to get ready in the morning, (see: Eat, shower, get dressed, wake up fully) that means I have to wake up at 6:00 am, so if I want 8 hours of sleep, I need to be asleep by 10:00pm, so in bed and shutting my eyes by 9:30. That's less then three hours an evening to unwind, rest, shower, cook and clean dinner and get anything else that needs doing done. During one of our busy seasons, it's two hours. Normally this is worth it for the three day weekend but more often then not those go away. An over time week consists of five, 11 hour work days. When you only have two hours a day to yourself, it feels like sleep can be sacrificed for a few more minutes of unwind or rest time. But it can't. Not when you work at a warehouse and you're evaluated daily on your productivity performance. I love Amazon, for the benefits and perks, and the good pay. They treat us employees really well in every way except scheduling during Peak and Prime weeks.

Had you been planning on doing a time lapse project like this for a while? It sounds like something that you would have had on the back burner forever and finally found a video to do it for, it looked great and as I realized how long it was going for my mind was increasingly blown. I want to do that now!

Great video, Mike. Excited for where post-Idea Channel takes us. As for this one, I'm glad to have some cogent thoughtwork on this crrrritical topic. Thanks!

I work a retail job. Shift work generally demands a flexible, open schedule in which shifts and workers are pieces in a puzzles to be solved. I've always found it interested that this push and pull of hours needed to fill a day, people to work those hours, etc., is what becomes the most important piece to any week. No more out much you sell, management will always try to use as few as they thing they need. No matter how poorly you may feel or work, shifts are only seen as being filled or empty, and not the (sometimes) fewer than 10 hours between those shifts. These kind of jobs value a warm body over literally anything. The best thing you can do at your job is be there when you're asked. No, I don't really get enough sleep.

I usually stress out when I can't go to sleep, around the time I'd get only 6 hours of sleep I start feeling completely unable to sleep. The truth is I really don't need 9 to 10 hours. Some days I'll sleep only 2 and still manage a whole day of studying. On average It wouldn't hurt to sleep 9 hours instead of 8. What stops me is screen addiction. I should probably stop rambling on RU-vid right now.

I don't know if this is something that has been mentioned yet in the comments, but certainly wasn't in the statistics, is how often shift workers will be required to do clo/opens. Where an employee is scheduled to close up shop on one day, and than open the next, which - depending on the hours of their place of employment - can just barely met the required 8 hours between shifts. 8 hours, which when you factor in time to travel home from closing, have dinner, go to bed, wake up, get ready for work, and travel back to work. And that doesn't even take into account those people who have more than one job, which presents it's own form of challenges. Than you consider that studies of sleep depravation have shown that it has similar physical and metal effects to being drunk, and yet if someone who is sleep deprived isn't preforming at optimal efficiency it is blamed on them not being completely dedicated to their job. It's no small wonder that we have such a huge cultural reliance on caffeine and other stimulants.

The best bit about sleep is the transition into it. There's nothing like getting into bed tired and just slowly fading away into your subconscious.

I like this format where we mostly just listen to what's being said and there's that ambient music in the background. Also, love how you say "sleeplessness" rather than "sleep deprivation"!

Here's an idea. The general lack of needed sleep among younger generations is a type of connection or bond, something virtually everyone can relate to. But it is also something over glorified. I've heard plenty of people talk about how they get single digit hours of sleep over the course of a few days like it's nothing. I feel as if a large chunk of people claim to get less sleep than they do in young demographics to fit in and make their lives appear more challenging and appealing to others. If this isn't the case then there would be a plague of insomnia, at least in my area.

Goddammit Mike don't you judge me too

Holy crap. It's sad that idea channel is ending but it's going out with a bang. This video is one of the best videos you guys have made. Fantastic work! Also no, I do not get enough sleep.

Holy cow. This is straight up one of your most powerful videos to date.

Have you heard of polyphasic sleep? It's where one separates their sleep into segments to get less sleep and remain functional, something firefighters or on call surgeons would have. Generally It's something like: Go to sleep for 3.5 hours, then take multiple naps throughout the day. After like 3 days I slept 12 hours and failed miserably. Made me appreciate sleep though :p

I clicked this video just to say NO I DON'T Now goodnight, because it's already way too late again

Great episode as usual. Love the time lapse. Can't believe I'm the tweet of the week. Thank you!

Wow what a great send-off video for idea channel, this was really beautiful

Recent studies have found a physical reason for sleep. The brain relaxes, opening up it's cels so that spinal fluid can pour in . This is the mechanism by which the toxins, that are the byproduct of all living cells, are washed out of the brain. Not washing these out could lead to Alzheimer's. So it's not just a "going off line while the filing is done" sort of thing. This leads me to wonder, though, how long does it need to do this? Polyphasic sleep cycles advocates naps of no more than 30 minutes ever 4 hours and those who participate in this schedule reportely only stop because their the only one among all their friends doing it, but otherwise report positive responses. Salvador Dali took the powernap to the extreme, with a spoon, or key in some reports, held in his hand over a metal tin. As he was drifting off to sleep the spoon would fall from his senseless fingers, hit the tin, and jar him awake. This would be all the sleep he claimed he needed to get back to work. And maybe he right. Maybe his brain relaxed enough to let in the cleansing fluids, then quickly and abruptly tensed, wringing it out like a sponge. One wonders about the damage this does to living tissue, which may explain Dali's work, but Einstein and possibly even Aristotle practiced the same sort of micro-nap. Either way it's a compelling idea in light of the new research.

Please, don't let them kill the Idea Channel.. Please! If you start a new channel let us know! About sleep, I'm one to sleep 12hs if possible. I do wake up from time to time, but return to bed as soon as I can. That's usually on the weekends, and that makes my mondays the worst day ever. I wish I could just sleep the "necessary" 8hs, but my body is a night owl and my work is an early bird. It sux. Those that say that "you'll get used to it" are lying! Hard lying. I would love to never have to sleep but, man, I do love my bed.

Videos like these truly show the rhetorical and visual genius of everyone who works on this channel. Hope you guys are successful in whatever you pursue.

This was really well put together. The visual kept me watching without being too distracted. And those moments you stared at the camera were uncanny, to say the least.

No; next question

Hopefully Automation could help with this

Maybe the best content you've ever created in this channel! Love you guys! From a Frenchman who clearly lake sleeping

I love how different this was from the regular Idea Channel format. More poetic. I'm excited to see what other cool stuff you've got in store for the channel's last hurrah :)

I'M A COLLEGE STUDENT

I wonder if Mike knows about the "Uberman sleep cycle" or other alternative polyphasic sleep schedules...

Every time I timelapse myself, I catch my hands touching my face frequently, like a nervous habit. It was such a relief to see this and just laugh that I am not the only one who does this.

I'll miss this show, but also I look forward to your next projects. :) Thanks.

nope. My body just doesn't work that way. How blessed humans are to live but simple lives and enjoy a world of unwaking wonder gifted to them by their own under conscious minds. How it is fantasized of, and recalled with such grace, or terror. How it is considered a great relief of stress and fear and love and hate. How great it must be to be able to sleep. How odd it is that those who can sleep feel trapped by it, while those that can't long for it.

I really like how you did this video in the style of your podcast. It's an interesting way to do an episode!

Mike, this is absolutely wonderful. Thank you for all your hard work for us. I watched once and all I could do was watch you and your surroundings. I let it soak. I'm watching, rather, listening for a second time now. I find that on most nights I have fallen into the 2 sleep pattern. I never thought much of it as I live alone and it patterns well with my cats rhythms. I wonder what the thoughts on dreams are of those who'd rather be up all day. I wouldn't like to give up my dreams, I find them enriching. Thanks again Mike

Been a long time since i've seen one of your vids. This presentation style feels oddly... hypnotic.

That stoplight is so hypnotizing.

"are you getting enough sleep?" as I watch at 1am with work on the morning

This is by far, my favorite viddy from Idea Channel. I hope Mike does more vids like this on his solo RU-vid Account :)

This might be one of the best videos idea channel ever produced. Thx, I will miss you Mike and the rest of you at idea channel. And if this is proof of things to come, then I watch the dawn of tomorrow with curiosity, hope, wonder, and happiness. Thx, again.

Props to Mike for being able to make this video, seems like hell sitting in one place for so damn long

This was an incredibly beautiful and well-done video.

this was a amazing video .. I am so sleep deprived from working.. it opened my eyes

Cheers for the visual and musical nod to Koyaanisqatsi. Got the chills at the end!

Anyone else mesmerised by the single cup of iced coffee that he sips his way through over an entire day?

Definitely enjoyed the format for this episode.

ASAPScience put out a video today saying people in a 14 year study who got less than 6 hours sleep a night were 4 times more likely to die by the end of the study. I'm up in 6 and a half hours and haven't eaten dinner yet. So no. I don't get enough sleep. And I think it is the thirst for meaningful content online like this that keeps me from going to bed.

The production operative thing hit home for me as I know how much your employers are capable of completely robbing you of your sleep. I've worked continental shifts for the past year in my production job. Working mornings one week, then afternoons, then nights; and the affect it still has on my health and well being is still felt, especially during the night time. I find that I am almost never sleeping in the morning and afternoon shifts but sleeping nearly 10-12 hours a day (or just meandering in bed from fatigue) through the night shifts. It is not healthy, it shouldn't be allowed to exist, but so many people have little choice and so many employers exploit that lack of choice.

A few years ago I was diagnosed with epilepsy, and I quickly found out that a good night's sleep was mandatory. Since then, life has been a careful game of managing the waking hours I have between college, work, family, etc. So I am getting enough sleep, for the most part. One of the biggest changes this brought to my lifestyle was noticing how sharp and focused you can feel when you're well-rested. It's that sense of clarity that allows me to get things done despite the time restrictions. Also, that time lapse was amazing. Any tips for creating a sunset-sunrise video like this?

I am both impressed and horrified at what it took to film this video. Watching this left me completely awestruck, and though my first instinct is to tell you to never ever do this again I can't deny this fact. You are truly an amazing filmmaker.

I cannot stop watching that stoplight.

I still do the same. Sleep, wake up, then fall back asleep for a few hours.

I'm amazed by your fortitude and determination to film this. I would've gotten a few hours into it and been like "ehhh..." and gone to bed.

"Come, sweet slumber, enshroud me in thy purple cloak" - Max Headroom 1989

I've often wished I didn't need to sleep and dreamed, when awake, of some kind of sleepless Utopia. I went into this video with my Utopian vision in mind, but boy did it fade fast. One of the best videos I've ever seen from this channel, the format is perfect!

This is a work of art.
